Couple of relatively minor buffs for some of my favourite ops that wouldn’t really affect the meta (not going to touch on nerfs…):
Sens:
POF-9 - Damage increased to 40. Still a 3 shot against 1 armours and a 4 shot against 3 armours, but 40 dmg/shot would mean it’s capable of 3 shotting 2 armours. Equipping the EB would make it 3 shot across the board.
ROU’s show the trajectory of the first couple of bounces (similar to Ram’s BU-GI) when held
Tachanka:
Give the Shumikha Launcher a setting similar to Grim’s bees (bounce vs. impact) and a slight decrease to the reload time + swap speed. The gadget has always been a pain to use. It’s far too clunky and slow. Even with his recent buffs (2x on the smg and the 60 dmg DP-27) he’s still on a negative win delta.
Thunderbird:
Super Shorty added as 3rd secondary option - This one is kind of a cope, but it’d give her some more utility and usefulness that the removal of impacts/nitro took away.
Maybe add a 4th Kona? - I like the idea of having 2 locations, each with 2 konas.
Ela:
Impact grenades as a 3rd option - Ela really has fallen off due to powercreep of other operators over the years, so giving her a little something extra to help her would be nice. I’m not brave enough to suggest buffs to her Skorpion or grzmots.
Kali:
This will never happen, but I’d love a canted sight…
Reduce the 12x zoom, maybe to 8x, or add it as a middle option. 12x has always been WAY too zoomed, only really usable on Plane. Another, middle, zoom option would make it just a little bit more user friendly.
Thorn
Before the 1.5x sight, I would’ve liked to have seen a magazine increase - maybe to 26+1 - but I’m not sure if that’d be safe now, she’s already in a decent spot with the 1.5.
Ngl with current shumika launcher, I have never shot any shumikas to the place I intended, it has always bounced back in my direction or the other, but not for the direction I intended. I know I have to practice it but a setting similar to Grim’s gadget helps a lot.

I like the canted sights idea. But sadly, it will never happen like you said.
yes please, sometimes the bounce screw things up more than they help
